Anyone ever seen "Tank Girl"? It looks like one of the mutant kangaroos to me.

Or maybe Francis the Talking Mule with his Zorro mask on...

So, this pattern only showed up after the intense heat of a fire, eh?

Now I've got to go buy a few turtles and zap them in the microwave just to see what shows up. Maybe they'll shoot sparks, like grapes do.

Thanks for the idea Rod. Unfortunately. it didn't work. And talk about the stinch, WoW.

Also do not immediately pick it up when you take it out of Microwave, the Shell is extremly HOT!!!

You should have used your time-branch to go an hour into the future before you picked it up.

"The marking on the shell was like the devil wanted us to know he was down there," Bryan Dora said. "To me, it's too coincidental that the only thing to come out unscathed would have this image on it."

I've got a real problem with people who claim stuff like "it's like god (or satan) wanted us to know" to justify to themselves their own continued belief in their big invisible friend.

Now, if it's got the image burned into it's back, is it truly unscathed? And would not the amount of heat needed to "create a picture" on the shell be enough to cook the damned turtle, at least partially?

I'd experiment, but the closest pet store is 120 miles away. I've always wondered what turtle soup actually tastes like, though. Maybe I should go get some turtles and thereby kill two "birds" with one stove?

I agreee.....They must think Satan had it out for them. If I was a supreme Creature of EVIL, I don't know if I would use a Pet Store to show my use of Power.

If satan existed, why in hell would he want to burn down a pet store? Did the animals have a little church set up in the back? He just HAD to teach the puppies who was better?

Maybe he just likes the smell of burnt hair.

And generally, arsonists don't leave a picture of themselves laying around at the scene of a crime, either.

I think it looks uncannily like King Bowser Koopa from the Nintendo games. It would be like him to burn down a pet store; a far more appropriate level of mischief for Bowser than for Satan, Lord of the Flies, Prince of Evil. Besides, Satan is busy in Florida trying to yank the feeding tube out of Terry Schiavo, when he's not in Massachussetts presiding over gay weddings and tempting pop singers to bare their breasts on national television.

Are you suggesting that KING KOOPA is Satan??? And he lives in Florida???

I think Nintendo got some explaning to do.

It makes me want to make a road trip and go buy the poor maligned little sucker.
But, we are picking up a puppy on Friday, and I have no desire to add salmonella worries and a new mouth to feed to that.

Sorry Satan.

Well, we haven't seen Bowser for a while, have we? Maybe he grew a beard in the waiting line.

The turtle has been marked by Pan, which is appropriate since Pan is the Lord of Animals.

Before there could be an image of Satan, there would have to be such a thing as Satan...

They should auction the thing on E-bay...

PS - Winona, if you still want him let me know. We could swing up there and pick him up for ya, my parents live just a little East of Frankfort.

I think it is a person trying to push satan into our lives, or it is just a nutcase trying to get publicity who didn't get their 15 minutes of fame!
The whole fire incident was someone, not something, trying to make people think it was going to be hell on earth.sort of like a warning from god.people are so weird these days.

Rod, how many avatars have you been through in the past hour? (Just wondering if I missed any - had you in a thong, a packet of flavor-aid (damn yankees can't spell) and now the mull)

Okay...back on topic...

I find I'm agreeing with Stephen (crap!) that it looks a bit like a dragon - maybe a front-on view of this guy

Yeah, why is it automaticaly satan when anything doesn't look like Jesus or Mary? I bet video game nerds with a controler attached to their hips would pay good money for a turtle with Bowser on it!

You know, I've never ONCE heard a case of (damn, I can't remember the term) this where someone thought they saw the face of a scientist?

Tons of jesus and mary, a few dead rock stars, and yes, even satan, but never a scientist.

I wonder why?

(sarcasm is what now?)

Actually, as for the avatars, Smerk, I actually had two different Flavor Aid ones, then the weed.

I've never heard the term mull before, I'll have to use it. Haha, no, I mean use the WORD.
